The new agent is a duellist called “Reyna”. Even before the launch her abilities were announced.
Besides the new agent, a new map will also be introduced. “Ascent” is a map with a big middle part for big fights with access to both spike places. According to Riot Games, the map should appear more often in the beginning than the other two maps you already know from the beta phase.
New beta with “Spike-Rush
Within the full version, however, a new beta phase is taking place. The new game mode “Spike Rush” finds its way into the game and brings a breath of fresh air. Here it’s all about being the first to secure the spike.
While this mode will surely still receive one or two bug fixes, many bugs in the game have already been removed.
Hit registration was fixed
Often clear hits were not registered as such by the game. This accuracy has now been improved. Fixed balance problems between the agents.
Sage and Raze were too strong and were generated accordingly. The abilities of Jett and Pheonix got a buff.
